Let Your Voice Be Heard
Michael Chittum, Executive Director
The National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC) exists to help its member congregations fulfill their missions and to be healthy. That means that the member churches sets the agenda for what the NACCC does. 

Within the NACCC, various boards, committees, and task teams need to hear YOUR voice in order to know what is important to you and how best to serve you.

Currently there are task teams seeking your input on a variety of issues and topics. The desire of these task teams is to improve aspects of the NACCC, such as the Annual Meeting and Conference, the Year Round Delegate program or the NACCC website. BUT . . . unless you respond to the surveys, these groups cannot work effectively to improve the NACCC. When a survey shows up in your email inbox, PLEASE do not ignore it. Please open it, answer the questions, and let your voice be heard.

Readers of The Congregationalist
Debby Fulton, Director of Development and Communications
Four times a year, the NACCC publishes and mails The Congregationalist to all active member churches, and many of the individuals attending those churches at no charge . This is one of the many services and benefits available to our active member churches and their congregation.
Recently a letter was mailed to member churches, and to many of you who receive the magazine at your home. We asked you to let us know if you wanted us to continue to mail The Congregationalist to you. Please contact us -your response is important! It is b ecause of the increasing expenses of designing, printing, and mailing the magazine, that it only makes sense to deliver The Congregationalist to those of you who enjoy reading it.

If you haven't confirmed your interest in continuing to receive the magazine please let us know as soon as possible.
